Are You Ready for Digital Natives?

JANUARY 9, 2019 – 1⁄2-day Workshop

They have different demands and expectations from their parents – forged by a combination of empowerment through technology and constraint through lack of cash & opportunity. They feel invincible as they navigate their world with their smartphones- yet there are countervailing forces that can make them feel less so

This is “the big tension” at the heart of their lives. Understanding this tension and responding to it is also the big opportunity for brands and organisations for be relevant to and trusted by the next generation.

This course explores that opportunity and identifies practical actions and communications for brands, which know they must evolve to meet changing expectations.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

This half day course develops a framework for thinking about how brands need to develop based on the application of design thinking principles. We put personas the centre of the process and explore the different ways that brand can help customers both manage and maximise their lives

We look at examples of brands & services that really “get it”- how they are playing a dynamic role in shifting expectations and what we can learn from them

At the end of the session, we will have developed a model and a framework for brand development that covers ethics, design, and communication.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

This course is ideal for strategists, creative teams and client leads who need to think about and create for digital natives.
